1.03 update adds ONLINE ONLY mechanical damage (No further details known.)

[GTarded]

After driving a lap with mechanical damage, I'm still in disbelief that this was the first thing they wanted to do for the game. I guess they're going to actually finish the game before they really get into the good stuff?

tried to translate the stuff from the german link... but something went wrong

When i got my Slim PS3 i used the back up utility and because half of my saves were LOCKED tot he system i lost progress on half of my games. If it is locked you cant back it up in ANY way.




It needs to be... They should just scrap the whole birthday idea... The '67's are forever tainted.

If people have that much free time, then they obviously need a life. I'd much rather spend my time earning xp and cash rather than trying to get some old race cars to trade I guess? It's pathetic.

 

[blaaah]

The GT5 update news just says there is an update...

And what's wrong with XMB's back up utility?

It tries to back up the entire contents of your PS3's hard drive, which means you either need to use a large external hard drive for your backups or you need to delete everything except for your game saves for the backup to be practical.

I mean, who really wants to spend an hour re-installing GT5 after every time they back up their save? Or spend an hour waiting for their GT5 installation to transfer to their external hard drive along with their saved game while backing up?

I whole heartedly agree 👍

I hope that's meant to be ironic.

Just to clarify if anyone is unsure, Ive just checked now in a-spec, Sunday Cup, Grand Valley, Minolta Toyota 88Cv closing speed going down the straight about 300mph and it still tracked straight and true so it appears its online only :\

Shame it's not in GT Mode, but has anyone tried Arcade Mode to see if it has mechanical damage?

 

[MiniMarco]

So mechanical damage, was the first "problem" they felt they needed to address?

Are you serious? first big update and you are already complaining it's the wrong one.

 

[r2nyGT5]

so i just created a lounge and messed around

my car was totalled, steering was messed up and the gears were not as responsive, tranny was broke

 

[souldrifting]

Mechanical damage sweeeeeeeeeeeet, any list of exactly what they updated ?

 

[Flash3001]

Alpha Effect (on rain, snow and dirty) is still on
Square Shadow is still on

 

[trk29]

No G25/G27 support.

 

[grbmrdj]

Stupid PD some of us don't have unlimited broadband, in NZ we pay by GB used. I cant keep downloading patches every week!!!

 

[lllSeanTlll]

Is this a mandatory update once you start the game or is there a choice not to update yet?

 

[freedomweasel]

Shame it's not in GT Mode, but has anyone tried Arcade Mode to see if it has mechanical damage?

Just trashed a WRC car in arcade, blew off the doors (got the trophy) but no red marks or anything on the HUD.

 

[evolutionight]

Anybody try an event from the extreme series?

I hear that sir! Still not as heavy as Bad Company 2 - went to try out the new maps the other day and it started downloading 1.7gb update!!!! That's almost one fifth of my whole monthly allowance!

Pretty sure it doesn't, but it'll add up lol.

Dear PD, please disregard ramblings of people who play online racing games (or at least play while connected to the internet) but pay per GB for their internet service. Continue to support your products, thanks. Signed, the rest of the world.

No mechanical damage in arcade!

 

[radracer256]

the fact that this doesn't work in gt mode (even at least as a toggle) aggravates the crap out of me. I figure that if there was visual damage, maybe it would be improved, maybe there would be mechanical damage. Then i hear this announcement of a patch that's coming for mechanical damage; and just like everything else, its half-***ed and online only. wow FULL DAMAGE? 1000 CARS? what a bunch of crap; its like two different games being duct taped together into one disappointing experience. I was willing to hold out before, but this just irritates me to no end.

 

[Tornado]

Still no Standards in Photo Travel.

Tell me about it. Been to Thailand recently?

 

[EFFalcon]

atleast we can say they're releaseing features as they become available, as apposed to doing a bunch at a time.

even if it seems very 1/2 arsed.

 

[telemudcat]

Why why WHY no mechanical damage in GT mode?!? I understand some folks want to race arcade style or whatever without damages... so how hard can it be to just throw in the option? Ugh. Frustrating.

 

[swervedriver]

lol!
